Click for the 'PermaThread™: List of all joke threads'

Being in need of a laugh or three, I seized on a book at a garage sale yesterday. The 800-page book is "The Rationale of the Dirty Joke" by G. Legman.

The first joke I read: Every Sunday morning when the family went to church, Annie would be visited in bed by her lover Jock. One Sunday he arrives whistling "Annie Laurie." She gives him a disapproving look, and when he begins to whistle another tune she tears herself out of his arms and begins to get dressed, saying, "I'll nae fornicate wi' a mon who whustles on the Sabbath."

Two thousand jokes and an analytic study of erotic humor arranged by subject. What more Could One ask for? That's a great deal for a buck.

May I tell one more? Thanks.
Critic to actor: Is it your opinion that Shakespeare intended us to understand that Hamlet screwed Ophelia?
Tragedian: I don't know what Shakespeare intended, but I always do.
